That mostly works OK but here in Southern Idaho not a whole lot of campgrounds are full service so it is pretty much "off the grid." And of course we park in the shade when possible to keep the sun off the coach and it is worse if it is cloudy, of course.
So far the only replacement fridge I have found is a Norcold NA10LX which is listed as a 10 cu ft. 2-way fridge that will work in the cutout that is available. What I don't know yet is if there is anything in the slide out wall that would prevent me from installing the 2 vent panels. (Waiting on response from Thor.) AC and DC are available and gas is next to it in the slide out for the stove.
I am and wondering if anyone has done this or has any viable solutions?
Thanks for any pertinent response.

Wasn't aware that Thor made a "park model" motorhome. Thor has been installing residential refrigerators in their larger class A model for quite sometime and in some models a 2 or 3 way refrigerator was never an option.
Since the fridge only runs when necessary running it on the inverter shouldn't be a problem. Mine does just fine overnight on 2 batteries.
Good luck on the upgrade if you go that way.
